Can I opensource it in a way where changes is not open to the public?
I have google verification file on my git, is it ok to put it in the public?

The platform is gitlab.

Ah! Yes. No reason why you couldn't. It would require making a new repo, copying the files into the new repo, and committing in one big commit before pushing to gitlab, but yeah. Definitely doable.

(I basically always do this myself. I don't start the Git repo until I want to Open Source it. So when I first Open Source it, it's a "complete" (or at least "minimum-viable-product") project and there's only one commit. Every commit I make and push thereafter is public, but there aren't any from before my first push/publish.)
